Thanks, asymptote looks like an interesting tool.

Rather than continually adding new block definitions directly to
org-exp-blocks.el I think we should add a section to the org-exp-blocks
page on worg where code implementing new blocks can be shared.  I'll try
to do this in the next couple of days with your asymptote code as the
first new block type.

I'm sorry, I have no experience with this variable.  However any number
of options could be specified in the headers line of the asymptote
block.  These will then be available inside the asymptote function (in
the `headers' list) where they could be used to change the values of
elisp variables.

Sorry, I can't help on this front.
